Simple but extremely valuable advice.

Education is very important and cannot be substituted with anything else. Combine education with whatever else you are doing!!!


The training facilities of Sunderland Football Club are an expansive 800 kilometres from KU Leuven's Faculty of Social Sciences. Yet Simon Mignolet, goalkeeper for the English Premier League club as well as for the Belgian national team, is two exams and a paper away from completing his Bachelor's degree in political science. "I realised all too well that a serious injury could put a quick end to a sports career. I wanted to have something up my sleeve," says Mignolet.

That was the 2012....He got his degree.


Kenyan sportsmen are just as educated as their European counterparts perhaps even more educated.

We have had footballers with advanced degrees like Masiga, Shikanda, Obwaka etc. Runners with PhDs like Boit and Ereng. Even today we have Olunga pursuing an engineering degree.

Good for them - we shall not start threads with their names on the title.

Kindly offer more details on the educated footballers. Hio etc might mean just a couple more names.

@Kaka2
Two years ago the Standard wrote an article about Kenya premier league players who had University degrees.

The list included national team players like:
- Mungai Kiongera (BA from Kenyatta Univ)
- Dennis Mukaisi (B. Ed from UoN)
- Israel Emuge (B Public admin)
- Brian Osumba (B of economics CPA leve 4 from UoN)
- Felly Mulumba (B. Theology from Univ of Missouri)
- Dan Makori (. B. Ed from Moi Univ)
- Obadiah Ndege (B. Meteorology - UoN)

http://www.sde.co.ke/the...st-educated-footballers


And dozens more footballers are pursuing degrees like Bernard Mangoli, Jacob Keli, PPO Masika and so forth.

Michael Olunga is enrolled at the Univ of Stockolm taking evening classes while playing in the Swedish league

So you don't have to go all the way to Sunderland to find educated footballers. They are right here in your backyard

Compared with other sports like Rugby and cricket,very few footballers take education seriously.

Its not fair to compare football to rugby and cricket. Football is the game pursued by the downtrodden masses. Many footballers did not even finish form 4 because their parents could not pay school fees.

Rugby has spread wide. But a significant proportion of rugby players still come from schools like Changez, Patch, Saints, Maseno, Strath, Alliance.....................Not as much as the 1980s but still a significant proportion.

The author is advising people to explore.


Quote:
My wife Rosemary majored in maths at university, graduated and became a systems engineer for IBM, and then quit her job to go back to school and become an architect. She loves that work, and has no interest in ever retiring. But how could she, as a child, have known that her joy would come from this (to her) obscure career. She never even met an architect until after she graduated from college.
Life is short. Live passionately.
